Described by some as the "forgotten revolution" of the Arab Spring, February 14 marks the fifth anniversary of the protest in Bahrain.

So, five years on, what are current realities on the ground?

In the Arena, Mansoor al-Arayedh, chairman of the Gulf Council for Foreign Relations and former member of the Shura Council, debates with the Bahraini activist Maryam al-Khawaja, exiled co-director of the Gulf Centre for Human Rights, who was sentenced in absentia by the Bahraini authorities and whose father, also a human rights activist, is serving a life sentence in prison.
